NAME
       CoDel - Fair Queuing (FQ) with Controlled Delay (CoDel)

SYNOPSIS
       tc  qdisc ... fq_codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ flows NUMBER ] [ target TIME ] [ interval TIME ] [
       quantum BYTES ] [ ecn | noecn ] [ ce_threshold TIME ] [ memory_limit BYTES ]


DESCRIPTION
       FQ_Codel (Fair Queuing Controlled Delay) is queuing discipline  that  combines  Fair  Queuing
       with the CoDel AQM scheme. FQ_Codel uses a stochastic model to classify incoming packets into
       different flows and is used to provide a fair share of the bandwidth to all the  flows  using
       the  queue.  Each  such  flow is managed by the CoDel queuing discipline. Reordering within a
       flow is avoided since Codel internally uses a FIFO queue.


PARAMETERS
   limit
       has the same semantics as codel and is the hard limit on the  real  queue  size.   When  this
       limit is reached, incoming packets are dropped. Default is 10240 packets.


   memory_limit
       sets  a  limit on the total number of bytes that can be queued in this FQ-CoDel instance. The
       lower of the packet limit of the limit parameter and the memory limit will be  enforced.  De‐
       fault is 32 MB.



   flows
       is  the number of flows into which the incoming packets are classified. Due to the stochastic
       nature of hashing, multiple flows may end up being hashed into the  same  slot.  Newer  flows
       have  priority  over older ones. This parameter can be set only at load time since memory has
       to be allocated for the hash table.  Default value is 1024.


   target
       has the same semantics as codel and is the acceptable minimum standing/persistent  queue  de‐
       lay.  This minimum delay is identified by tracking the local minimum queue delay that packets
       experience. Default value is 5ms.


   interval
       has the same semantics as codel and is used to ensure that the measured  minimum  delay  does
       not  become  too stale.  The minimum delay must be experienced in the last epoch of length .B
       interval.  It should be set on the order of the worst-case RTT through the bottleneck to give
       endpoints sufficient time to react. Default value is 100ms.


   quantum
       is  the  number  of  bytes used as 'deficit' in the fair queuing algorithm. Default is set to
       1514 bytes which corresponds to the Ethernet MTU plus the hardware header length of 14 bytes.


   ecn | noecn
       has the same semantics as codel and can be used to mark packets instead of dropping them.  If
       ecn has been enabled, noecn can be used to turn it off and vice-a-versa. Unlike codel, ecn is
       turned on by default.


   ce_threshold
       sets a threshold above which all packets are marked with ECN Congestion Experienced. This  is
       useful  for  DCTCP-style  congestion  control algorithms that require marking at very shallow
       queueing thresholds.
